Poggio Antico 1995 Riserva (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Riserva

Winery: Poggio Antico / Brunello di Montalcino

The brownish color indicates that it’s fading, and the raisiny, stewed fruit on the nose confirms that initial indications are on target. In the mouth, it’s soft, and the cherry fruit has a kirsch-like liqueur quality to it. Faded tannins and barely vital acids say it’s going, going and soon to be gone.
